we have an agreement, pat and i have an agreement with senator kirk and senator schumer. we have an agreement on an amendment to prevent criminals and the mentally ill and insane from getting firearms and harming people. that's extremely important for all of us. also, we agree that we need a commission on mass violence. this commission is going to be made up with people of expertise, people who have expertise in guns, people who have expertise in mental illness, people who have expertise in school safety and people who have expertise in video violence. we have a culture of violence and we have a whole generation who basically has been desensitized. if you go around and talk to the young people today it is what it is. we have got to find out how we can change and reverse that. we also need to protect legal gun owners, legal gun owners like myself and pat who basically cherish the second amendment rights that we have. and we have done that also, but today is the start of a healthy debate that must end with the senate and house, hopefully passing these commonsense measures a
